Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Bradford, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Temperature

The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. During August, Bradford's temperature falls to a steady low-temperature average of 70.2°F (21.2°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
